We are aware of the issue with the badge emails resending to everyone, we apologise for the inconvenience - learn more here.
When a person who is requesting access to a file/folder through Dropbox, you need to enable the person who is approving the access request to be able to limit that access to view/download only. Now approvals include edit capability which is not necessarily what the owner of the folder wants to do. The person requesting access may not know the difference between edit access and view/download access. This is particularly important when an owner of a folder of pictures wants to share those pictures but does not want give other's the ability to remove photos from the folder and only wants others to be able to view the pictures and download what they want without removing the picture from the folder.
Please email me if further clarification is needed.

Ron
You need to change the permissions for the file or folder

Hey @Scubar - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.
Did alina104's suggestion to adjust the sharing permissions help at all with what you had in mind?
